Dig Area Tool 2.2

Doesn't work with Cities XXL (2015).
After clicking on the icon, the area cursor appears for half a second then it changes to the terraform cursor.
I think you can make it work just by changing the icon location on the menu.

 

I managed to change the icons location with the help of Cities XL PakUnpak, here are the steps.

1. Unpack the mod with Cities XL PakUnpak.
2. Navigate to <unpacked folder>\data\design\buildings\construction\plaza\
3. Open each of these files in notepad or other text editor program.
4. Change the 3rd line from: <Tag>MS18;GemCity;Terraform;Decoration</Tag> to: <Tag>MS18;GemCity;Areas;Decoration;Nature</Tag>
5. Compile the data folder with Cities XL PakUnpak.
6. Replace the old version with the new one.

That is it, now the icons should be with the other plazas.

 

Cities XL Platinum crash with 2.0 version

 

^ same with Ashel, game wont start with 2.0 version

 

I'm afraid the game crashes when I try to start it up with this mod in XL PLATINIUM

 

A mod, such as this one, subscribed to at Steam...
should it update automatically if it has been moved into a sub-folder (mods categorized by author)?

 

You are correct sir. Based on your last update to the dig tool:

Steam updates are placed (typically) in the Packs/Mods folder and do not reach sub-folders.
Steam's user settings ~/path/~ options allow downloads to different drives, but are not folder specific.

see...old dogs can learn new tricks.

So, I need to continue monitoring my mods closely so I don't end up with .patch files that may cinflict with each other.
That's ok, I prefer to get mods here at XLNation and manually install them.
Thanks for the feedback...and the great mods too.

 

Nice work, nicko. This tool is a must have.
About the menu location: shouldn't be in the terraforming options?

 

Great mod but would really like to have a tutorial on how to use it properly. Please help...

 

I find the "raise" is too big. I would like one the raises only one level instead to two.
